# 3D Modelling

## Relevant guides

Due to its complexity, we don't have a dedicated guide on Blender. However, if you have no idea how to start, various other guides cover part of the process:

* [Sculpting](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/3d-modelling/mesh-sculpting-techniques.md)
* [Proportional editing / Refitting](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/items-equipment/recolours-and-refits/r-and-r-refitting-step-by-step.md)
* [Texture painting](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/textures-and-luts/custom-multilayermasks.md) and [normal map creation](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/textures-and-luts/self-made-normal-maps.md)
* [Adding submeshes](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/3d-modelling/3d-editing-submeshes.md) or [Splitting meshes](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/textures-and-luts/textured-items-and-cyberpunk-materials.md#step-2-processing-the-downloaded-mesh)

For more hands-on advice, see the guide section, for example

* [Wolvenkit Blender IO Suite](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/modding-tools/wolvenkit-blender-io-suite.md): Importing/exporting [WKit Blender Plugin: Import/Export](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/modding-tools/wolvenkit-blender-io-suite/wkit-blender-plugin-import-export.md#meshes)
* [Material assignment examples](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/textures-and-luts/textured-items-and-cyberpunk-materials.md)
* [Troubleshooting your mesh edits](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/3d-modelling/troubleshooting-your-mesh-edits.md)
* [Garment Support: How does it work?](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/3d-modelling/garment-support-how-does-it-work.md) or [Game Components explained](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do.md)

## Relevant files

### Mesh

A mesh defines the shape and surface of any in-game object.

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information on .mesh files and how they work, see [https://github.com/CDPR-Modding-Documentation/Cyberpunk-Modding-Docs/blob/main/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/3d-objects-.mesh-files](https://github.com/CDPR-Modding-Documentation/Cyberpunk-Modding-Docs/blob/main/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/3d-objects-.mesh-files "mention")

For more informations on **materials** and mesh appearances, see [Textures, Materials and Shaders](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/materials.md)
{% endhint %}

### Morphtarget

Morphtargets are a special kind of mesh used for alternate and additional shapes beyond the static shape a `.mesh` can define. If your source is a `.morphtarget`, you need to primarily work with that rather than the `.mesh`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/3d-modelling.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
